Experience a relaxing cruise aboard New Zealand's iconic TSS Earnslaw or our modern catamaran and meet and feed our friendly animals at Walter Peak High Country Farm.
Your experience begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history.
Soak up the spectacular views with a wine or beer from our bar, visit the mini-museum or check out the action in the engine room as we cruise towards Walter Peak.
Upon disembarking, you will be greeted by our rural host who will take you on a fascinating guided tour where you will get to meet our friendly farm animals.
On this interactive farming experience, you'll be able to see a sheep shearing demonstration and watch farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks.
Visit the holding pens and feed the farm animals before enjoying freshly baked afternoon tea in our newly-renovated delightfully rustic wool shed.
A unique and interactive experience that will enable you to immerse yourself into rural New Zealand life.

Had heard about this excursion via friends. Finally I had the opportunity to do it. Relaxing few hours. Great info onboard in relation to the Earnslaw's history. Farm tour was great. The afternoon tea - pleasantly surprised at the range of gf goodies prepared.
Wonderful experience. Excellent buffet diner, and a beautiful sunset on the way back.
Staff, location, animals, afternoon tea, boat, Quinlan and Kim, fantastic 😊😊😊
